Only my bestie...??? #2 Chapter 31 updated on Pg 91 [11/4/15] - Page 5

"Sh..shweta...you...I..." Sameera choked upon her tear-throttled voice as she realized the damage she had done by her very own hands not only to herself but also her friendship...Arnav was no longer her fianc, her friend, her partner - she basically meant nothing to him now.

" Its over, MISS SAMEERA RATHOD... Everything that we had between us, the friendship, the relationship, the partnership - ALL OVER!!!!!" Those words from his mouth had clutched at her heart, refusing to let go, while the pain only doubled up with every passing moment...

"Yeah Sameera, Its me...you must be wondering how do I fit in the picture, don't you? Then let me make it clear...I was present right there listening to the crap you were uttering infront of my best friend...jis tarah se tum Khushi ki izzat ki dhajjiya uda rahi thi, mai sab sun rahi thi and believe me, I wanted to strangle you right then and there but as always my mahaan bestie had to come and stop me...she somehow convinced me that you were not totally wrong and it was only a major misunderstanding between you and her that she assured me to clear off very soon ...I trusted her, but today I realized that her justification presented only one side of the coin. The reality actually frames a completely different scenario...from what I have gathered today, it looks like you were trying to copy khushi and snatch her place from everyone's lives...tumhe ghin aani chahiye apne aap se, There, that girl was defending you, fighting with me for YOU and what did you do to her haa?? How can you be so disgusting??" Shweta finally got to give her share of accusatorial-gyaan as she bombarded her with questions after questions.

"Shweta ...plzz don't say that,...just listen to me once...I..." Sameera was again loss at words.

"No!!!! Why should I? tum socho mujhpar kya beeti hogi jab mere hi aakho ke saamne tum meri best friend ko cheap aur characterless bole jaa rahi thi?? Kaisa laga hoga mujhe uss waqt? Dusro ko etiquettes sikhaane waali khud apne conducts bhul gai haa? Tumne socha ke Khushi ne kisi ko kuch nahi bataaya toh uska patta cut aur tumhaara raasta clear hai? Tumhe laga kisi ko tumhaare kartoot ki khabar nahi hogi?? Then you are wrong , miss Rathod...maine bataya arnav ko, but not because I wanted to extract revenge, mujhe toh laga ke wo akdu Raizada yaha apni fianc ke saath maze le raha hai aur waha meri besti akele suffer kar rahi hogi ...mai toh uski to aisi ki taisi karne waali thi ...par aaj pata chala ke khel toh tumne khela hai ...you misjudged their relation, got insecure all by yourself and hurt my best friend because of it" Shweta forgot to put a break to her express train recalling every hurtful words that may have pierced Khushi's heart at that time and the amount of tears she may have shed for the same.

"I was always right in judging their relationship, Shweta" Sameera spoke with utmost confident, taking a deep breath and sighing inwardly, bracing herself well in advance for the explosion that was soon to follow and it indeed happened.

"WHAT??? Even after all these you are trying to prove yourself right?????...tum kya cheez ho Sameera, itna kuch ho gaya aur tumhe phir bhi akal nahi aayi??" Shweta's fury replicated very well in her exasperated riposte.

"You are getting me all wrong Shweta...let me explain. What I am trying to say is that I was always right to misjudge Arnav and Khushi's closeness, I was right in my beliefs that they are not just friends, I was right to get insecure, feel neglected with Arnav's lack of warmth and affection...maybe you can't decipher it the way I want you to, may be both of them are also completely unaware and ignorant but I CAN very well see , that the relation Arnav and Khushi share, is NOT limited to friendship...Its much more than that...the way they love to spend time with each other, the way they are desperate to catch a glimpse of one another, the way they fight so lovingly...everything point out to the one major fact that..." Sameera tried to make Shweta understand her prospective.

"That?" Shweta anticipated something she had already guessed.

Sameera was about to speak when a voice interrupted them from behind...

"That my Arnav and Khushi are unconditionally, whole-heartedly, irretrievably, deeply and crazily in LOVE with each other..." Spoke the voice.

The girls turned back to find Arnav's mom smiling at them, even though a bit teary eyed.

"AUNTY?" Shweta stood stunned to the core as she found this new piece of information quite difficult to digest.

"haan shwetu...Arnav and Khushi love each other, they always had and always will ...but the fact remains the same, both the pig-heads haven't ever realized it... They disregard their emotions in the name of friendship... bachpan se mai yahi tamaasha dekhti aayi hu ...magar kabhi kuch nahi kaha because I know love is one such emotion that needs to be felt by our ownself...zabardasti se pyaar ka naata joda nahi ... magar woh dono bhi khub hai, they can solve the toughest of mysteries in the world, magar apne hi dilo ke raaza nahi jaan paaye..." she sighed taking in deep breath.

"jab vivek ne Khushi ko propose kiya, mujhe laga kam se kam ab to arnav ko apne pyaar ka ehsaas hoga magar nahi, he had no issues, no regret, no envy, NOTHING...!! ...but fortunately that relation dint last long phir jab tumhaare uncle ne arnav ko Khushi se shaadi karne ko kaha, I was happy that the prospect of marrying each other would make them see sense, but tabhi khushi ko saare kiye karaaye par paani pherna tha...she refused to marry saying arnav likes sameera bitiya ...tumse mili (she looked at Sameera) to mujhe laga shayad bhagwaan ki yahi marzi hai and I accepted you whole heartily...but soon I realized that Arnav have no feelings for you...he was, although unintentionally, playing with your life...

Tumne uska ignorance mehsoos kiya aur Khushi ke khilaaf itni badi saazish ki...but aakhir me tumhaare haath kuch nahi aaya...Khushi ke jaane se arnav realized he cant live without her magar tumse usne apni nazdikhiya nahi badhaai...aur aisa kabhi hob hi nahi sakta kyunki pyaar toh wo sirf aur sirf Khushi se karta hai..."

"Oh god aunty, you are absolutely right! Tabhi to, Khushi ko lekar itna possessive rehta hai who lukhnowi nawaab...and Khushi bhi kuch kam nahi hai...din raat bas ek dusre ki maala japte rehte hai who dono idiots but realize nahi karte ke yeh pyaar hai..." shweta smiled in glee at first and then made faces, annoyance clearly etched over her features.

"Aunty, I know I did very wrong with Khushi...but plzzz forgive me...i was blinded by my jealousy...I never looked beyond my dreams, my happiness...yaha tak ki main ek baar bhi arnav ke bare me bhi nahi socha..." Sameera accepted her folly with open heart.

"I am happy that Sameera, that you realized your mistake...magar mai tumhe maaf nahi kar sakti...however the day you bring back my arnav and Khushi together, I promise us din mai pure dil se tumhaari har galti bhulakar tumhe apna lungi..." Arnav's maa spoke smiling slightly building lots of positivity in Sameera.

" but aunty, wo din to bohot jald aane waala hai...knowing my enemy very well, wo bilkul der nahi lagaaega Khushi ko waapas lane me...and they would be together like before..." Shweta butted in, not liking the fact that Sameera would be forgive so soon, without repenting enough.

Arnav's mom: That exactly is the problem shwetu, they would be together LIKE BEFORE!!! Unhe ab bhi ehsaas nahi hoga ke woe k dusre se pyaar karte hai and I am sick of their negligence to their own heart's desire...

Shweta: to what do you suggest then?

Arnav's mom: hame kuch aisa karna hoga ke arnav khushi se tab hi mile, jab use apne pyaar ka pure ehsaas ho chukka ho...

Sameera: but aunty aapne hi to kaha ke unhe khud realize karna hoga...

Shweta: Nahi aunty, pehle hi bohot time waste kar diya un dono dumb-heads ne...ab toh mujhe hi kuch karna padega...

Arnav's mother just smiled and the 3 of them spent the next 2 hours discussing their "MISSION ARSHI MILAAP"

Shweta: Sameera, this is your last chance...I guess, you speaking to him would have the maximum impact tabhi tumse keh rahi hu...are you up for it?

Sameera took a deep breath and nodded. She has to do it. "Trust me this one last time mamma...I...m..m.ean Aunty and Shweta...I wont let you down" and Sameera Rathod prepared herself for the grand faceoff with her ex fianc.

Arnav aimlessly drove his car, wandering miles away from his home he reached to an unknown destination amidst the soothing camaraderie of bright majestic expanse of the evening sky, towering wind-battering trees, squeaky chirpy birds, stalwartly hustling winds, and sublime settling Sun...he get out of the driver seat and rested his head on the bonnet, trying to gather his thoughts and most importantly get rid of the burning guilt.

Yes, He was angry! But more than anger, guilt and self-loathing consumed his entire being...he felt like he had failed his Khushi...he, who claimed to know her inside out, who boasted to read the depths of her soul through her eyes, failed to understand what her heart was conveying to him...!!

Yes!! Now everything became crystal clear, as his words before she parted from his came floating back to his memory ...

"yahi toh tumhaare saath case hai meri mother Teresa. Anyone had to just utter some fake profound and weighty heart-touching words along with shedding few dribs of tears and then my khushi, would easily give in !!!...All they need to do is convince you of their miseries and you, without caring an ounce to follow some logic and use that tiny brain of yours, will follow their words blindly. You have such a big and innocent heart khushi... tum kisi ko taklif me nahi dekh sakti...and you forgive everyone effortlessly, kabhi kisi ko manaa nahi kar paati ...but its my wedding approaching in few days... I would be needing my bestie with me every second...her presence is a must for everything I select or organize...how am I supposed to do all that yaar??...mai tumhe nahi jaane de raha and thats final...and if you are going, I am coming with you...to hell with everything else..."

Arnav remembered he had tried every trick to stop her from leaving him...he had faked anger, appeared to be being pouty even exhibited his puppy dog looks too but nothing worked on her...she was trying so hard not to give in, her resolve to get away from him so strong that eventually, nothing he did could stop her..

Also khushi s reply and reaction now made perfect sense to him, "you have Sameera with you now arnav...woh tumhaara saath degi... she will help you with everything that you need...a..aur...waise bhi... I am not going for-ever ...i will be back within a week's time...then u can eat my head as much as you want ...i promise mai kitna bhi paku, will let you speak, ok bestie?" She had softly touched his cheeks, smilingly but then immediately withdrew her hands remembering something.

Arnav at that time had confusedly noticed the change in her and now he knew, what triggered the sudden withdrawal...he now knew, why had she suddenly stiffened. She must have remembered Sameera's cutting remarks upon their relationship, upon her intentions behind befriending him and so she had backed away. ...

Back then, he had sensed her uneasiness and therefore he had softly gathered her in his arms, held her chin and spoke with utmost adoration and concern.

"you are leaving me alone for ONE full week...thats ok...mai reh lunga khushi, jo bhi ho, jaise bhi ho...I can never refuse anything you ask for and you have taken full advantage of that...but, atleast don't do this to me naa?...who do u think I am to you? ...a stranger?...no, right...then why are u showing your fake smile haa?...you think i am going to believe it?...I know, you are equally sorry and guilty for going away so abruptly jab mujhe tumhaari itni zarurat hai... ...I know, that u are hell nervous to stay with your mamaaji and his family...but for the very first time since we are together, you are keeping all your concerns to yourself...why khushi???...I know these things are bothering you...aur meri khushi itni bhi strong nahi hai that she can keep such nagging thoughts to herself... you know it very well right that your bestie is always with you...I am never going to leave you alone...I am sorry if you are worried of me being angry or upset...but mai tumhaare saath kabhi nahi chodunga khushi and it's a promise khushi, you know na?

He had understood she was hiding something deep, that she was somehow very hurt, but he was such a fool that he could not comprehend her silence, that he trusted her words even though her eyes were conveying something distinctive... being such an idiot, whatever she spoke, he believed. He, who had had always caught her lies, bought her biggest lie so easily. He wasn't even slightly bothered that may be there was more to the story than what she was trying to say... he was now truly repenting...disgusted and ashamed of himself, coz only because of his slight ignorance, both him and Khushi were enduring a lot.

"mamaji...h..he...was...talking about maa, her habits, her nature...telling me about my childhood days...I miss them Arnav, my parents!...why they have to leave me??...I...I miss them so much..."

She had said that her parent's memories brought tears to her eyes but in reality, it was Sameera who made his bestie cry...because of her, she left him.

"I am the biggest failure...I am the reason that everything went wrong... Maine jaane anjaane me tumhe itna hurt kia khushi...I should have never allowed Sameera to enter my life...I have so wrongly interpreted my feelings for her, it was not love dammit ...I could feel it now, everything that we had between us was just a mere infatuation... I have understood my folly now, but at the expense of my khushi's happiness...she paid the price of my mistake...she had to undergo so much of humiliation and I did absolutely nothing to prevent it ...the only thing that I dreaded the most after khushi's engagement with that good for nothing scumbag vivek broke was, her facing false allegations, accusing glares and disgrace ...and I that's what happened, although for a different reason, but I let it happen, mere peeth piche itna kuch hua aur mai kuch naa kar saka...khushiii... how am I meet your eyes now??...kaise face karunga tumhe? Forgive me...Forgive me plzzz" Arnav whispered the last lines, conveying his message with all his heart, passing it along with the gentle breeze, talking to his bestie in his own special way...!!!

Sameera turned back and found Shweta Standing behind her. Shweta had come following them and when she witnessed him sprinting away without as much as giving Sameera any chance to react through his outburst, She thought to give the broken girl infront of her some sort of comforting even though she was least deserving of it. Shweta could very well Arnav's state of mind after whatever they had gone through...and she agreed, he needed some time alone, away from such excruciating pain, away from such awful reality, away from such heart-break, away from Sameera's aching betrayal, away from everyone!!

"Sh..shweta...you...I..." Sameera choked upon her tear-throttled voice as she realized the damage she had done by her very own hands not only to herself but also her friendship...Arnav was no longer her fianc, her friend, her partner - she basically meant nothing to him now.

" Its over, MISS SAMEERA RATHOD... Everything that we had between us, the friendship, the relationship, the partnership - ALL OVER!!!!! ". Those words from his mouth had clutched at her heart, refusing to let go, while the pain only doubled up with every passing moment...

"Yeah Sameera, Its me...you must be wondering how do I fit in the picture, don't you? Then let me make it clear...I was present right there listening to the crap you were uttering infront of my best friend... I listened to every insult you hurled her way... and believe me, I wanted to strangle you right then and there but as always my ever so great bestie had to come and stop me...she somehow convinced me that you were not totally wrong and it was only a major misunderstanding between you and her that she assured me to clear off very soon ...I trusted her, but today I realized that her justification presented only one side of the coin. The reality actually frames a completely different scenario...from what I have gathered today, it looks like you were trying to copy khushi and snatch her place from everyone's lives... you should be ashamed of yourself, There, that girl was defending you, fighting with me for YOU and what did you do to her haa?? How can you be so disgusting??" Shweta finally got to give her share of accusatorial-gyaan as she bombarded her with questions after questions.

"Shweta ...plzz don't say that,...just listen to me once...I..." Sameera was again loss at words.

"No!!!! Why should I? you think how I must have felt when infront of me you claimed my bestie to be of loose character? You teach others what etiquettes mean, then what happened to your own conducts? You thought Khushi may not have spoken to anybody so its your chance now? Then you are wrong, miss Rathod... ...I told the truth to arnav, but not because I wanted to extract revenge, I had thought that arrogant Raizada was having fun while my bestie was silently paying its price...I had to take a class of him today ... but now I came to know that you were the master mind behind everything...you misjudged their relation, got insecure all by yourself and hurt my best friend because of it" Shweta forgot to put a break to her express train recalling every hurtful words that may have pierced Khushi's heart at that time and the amount of tears she may have shed for the same.

"I was always right in judging their relationship, Shweta" Sameera spoke with utmost confident, taking a deep breath and sighing inwardly, bracing herself well in advance for the explosion that was soon to follow and it indeed happened.

"WHAT??? Even after all these you are trying to prove yourself right?????... What are you Sameera, so much had happened and you are still stuck with your earlier misconceptions?" Shweta's fury replicated very well in her exasperated riposte.

"You are getting me all wrong Shweta...let me explain. What I am trying to say is that I was always right to misjudge Arnav and Khushi's closeness, I was right in my beliefs that they are not just friends, I was right to get insecure, feel neglected with Arnav's lack of warmth and affection...maybe you can't decipher it the way I want you to, may be both of them are also completely unaware and ignorant but I CAN very well see , that the relation Arnav and Khushi share, is NOT limited to friendship...Its much more than that...the way they love to spend time with each other, the way they are desperate to catch a glimpse of one another, the way they fight so lovingly...everything point out to the one major fact that..."

"haan shwetu...Arnav and Khushi love each other, they always had and always will ...but the fact remains the same, both the pig-heads haven't ever realized it... They disregard their emotions in the name of friendship... I have witnessed this drama unfolding from their childhood...but I never spoke of it with anyone. Because I know love is one such emotion that needs to be felt by our ownself... bonds of love are not strengthened forcefully... but those 2 are truly nut case, They can solve the toughest of mysteries in the world, but cannot understand what lies in their own heart..." she sighed taking in deep breath.

" When vivek proposed Khushi I thought atleast now Arnav may realize his true feelings for Khushi but to my utter dismay, nothing of that sort happened, he had no issues, no regret, NOTHING..!!!...but fortunately that relation dint last long and when your uncle requested arnav to marry Khushi, I was very happy that the prospect of them marrying each other. I thought it would make them see sense, but then also Khushi had to spoil everything...she refused to marry saying Arnav likes sameera bitiya ...i met you (she looked at Sameera) and I thought maybe this is what has destiny planned for my kids so I accepted you whole heartily...but soon I realized that Arnav have no feelings for you...he was, although unintentionally, playing with your life...

You felt his ignorance and tried keeping Khushi apart from him...but in the end, you are still empty handed...after Khushi left, he realized how much his bestie matter to him but then also, he dint let you come close, let alone occupy khushi's place ...believe me when I say this Sameera, nothing you wanted to, will ever happen coz Arnav has always loved only one girl all his life and that's his khushi ..."

"Oh god aunty, you are absolutely right! That is why that lukhnowi prince is always possessive of his princess... ...and Khushi is no less...all day and night, they spend with each other but cant realize one thing, that the relationship they share is the most beautiful form of true love ..." Shweta smiled in glee at first and then made faces, annoyance clearly etched over her features.

"Aunty, I know I did very wrong with Khushi...but plzzz forgive me...i was blinded by my jealousy...I never looked beyond my dreams, my happiness...i dint acknowledged even Arnav's feelings, never cared for him ..." Sameera accepted her folly with open heart.

"I am happy that Sameera, that you realized your mistake... but don't expect me to forgive you rightaway ...however the day you bring back my Arnav and Khushi together, I promise that day I would welcome you back in my heart with open arms..." Arnav's maa spoke smiling slightly building lots of positivity in Sameera.

"But aunty, that day is going to come real soon...knowing my enemy very well, he wont delay a second In bringing Khushi back...and they would be together like before..." Shweta butted in, not liking the fact that Sameera would be forgive so soon, without repenting enough.

Arnav's mom: That exactly is the problem shwetu, they would be together LIKE BEFORE!!! They would never realize their love and I am sick of their negligence to their own heart's desire...

Shweta: to what do you suggest then?

Arnav's mom: we need to do something such that before arnav meets Khushi, he has full realization about his love

Sameera: but aunty what can we do for that, he has to realize it himself right?

Shweta: nope aunty, already those dumb-heads had wasted so much of time, now I only need to do something.

Arnav's mother just smiled and the 3 of them spent the next 2 hours discussing their "MISSION ARSHI MILAAP"

Shweta: Sameera, this is your last chance...I guess, you speaking to him would have the maximum impact that's why I am asking you...are you up for it?

Sameera took a deep breath and nodded. She has to do it. "Trust me this one last time mamma...I...m..m.ean Aunty and Shweta...I wont let you down" and Sameera Rathod prepared herself for the grand faceoff with her ex fianc.
